Overview

Physiotherapists are beginning to recognise the potential of social media to connect, educate, network, establish a digital identity and promote their organisation. This webinar tackles the topic of dealing with the potential down side of being online – risk management. Would you know what to do if someone posted negative comments about you online? How can you get ahead of possible issues before they occur? We’ll explore risk management strategies and give you some useful tips for developing a social media policy that puts you and/or your organisation in a great position to spend less time worrying and more time getting the most of these engaging online platforms!
